Hi,
I'm currently in the process of choosing my BSc choice and was thing of transferring to Kings for philosophy- has anyone done this before? Would really appreciate more information on the whole thing- how is it? Is it a big change? What are the chances of getting a first? How many lectures a week, that sort of thing...
Thanks!

Sorry this is months too late and you've either applied or not applied but I really hope Guren didn't put you off! Ive applied for this course and I've spoken to quite a few people who've done it in the past and said amazing things, hope to see you there

Don't be put off, medicine often straddles art and science, your intercalated is a chance to explore new ideas, its your choice to choose what you want. If I had a choice of an intercalated I would likely do history of medicine, a humanity. Don't listen to the haters if that is what you want.

I'm intercalating at KCL next year in Oral & Craniofacial Biology.. Anyone coming from outside King's??

I'm intercalating in Philosophy at King's now (in fact I'm supposed to be revising), having left Sheffield after 3rd year. It's definitely worth doing. A philosophy degree will change the way you look at everything, forever. I don't mean that you'll be questioning the existence of everything (although I suppose you could), rather that what other students/doctors consider a straightforward ethical scenario you will think twice about.

Philosophy and medicine go hand in hand, and despite not doing any philosophy of medicine this year (at least, not as part of the course) I know it has helped me immensely. Naturally you forget some medical knowledge, but that shouldn't put you off.

I'm sure you have already applied DBee, but hopefully someone else will see this and apply to.
